Woo~ Had our zone's thanksgiving yesterday haha.. The theme is 'retro' so everyone kind of need to dress a little retro (some totally).. Waha.. so we had fun laughing at each other~




















that's sis suting at my house preparing the 200 over chicken wings with me~ There are still some in my fridge, if anyone wants.. feel free to call me. We ran out of oil haha.. Look at the pail..~ Personal breakthrough for both of us! CheErs.




















Our sweat and blood~ Literally... Of which I didn't eat any haha.. Must give some credits to Cai's mum who gave us the recipe and Jonathon and Henry who cfmed that i must really put flour on the marinated chicken before cooking.. and Swee who went down to get aluminium foil for us and Sis jinlian who started the ball rolling by asking 'why haven't cooked? what are u all waiting for?' Wahahaha..















That's meijia sharing some narcissistic moments with me in the toilet




















Hi!

aaaahhhhh this christmas has been a tremendous one for me! Singing in the choir.. bringing friends.. drama.. carnival..hanging out.. receiving gifts!(thanks friends!).. giving gifts.. Ahhhh nice nice!! =) ! But happiest of all was the moment at the altar call.. I received 2 best christmas gifts there.. Wahahahhaha.. Hor KaiLin? LOL~ However it was not the very nice drama nor the very nice choir nor the very nice preaching nor the very nice people that made it a very nice christmas. But rather Jesus was there to make it all happen. Though expo is big big big but not to worry, our God is biggER and His presence is able to fill up very inch in Hall 8. =)

Anyway, these are some of the photos I took.. Guess they speak better than me.. haha..















My gifts for friends.. Mostly for my cg girls haha, sorry ah not a very 'gift' person.. =P
















Christmas dinner at WeiYing's house.. A rather 'cosy' time for N256 where we also heard the sad news about Chang's departure from N256 to another cg.. Gonna miss him lots.















Ah.. those are Jean and Amanda and together we're in the choir! Ha~ (Think I looked abit funny haha.. )















That's my daddy. Look at the castle behind! =)














HAHA my face looks so big la. Thanks Cai. Waha~
















3 beautiful flowers~~ 9 of us (including daddy) went to east coast for supper after service on sat~ hehe~ On the way home, me and cai counted down together.. Yes only the both of us LOL!! So sweet right.. Some more under the sky~ with wind brushing against our skin~ LOL!!!















My da sao, silly-looking lightbulb and bro jeff!















Look at the Merlion! wahhaha.. Sorry to offend some lol! (Internal joke, not meant to circulate) lol~~ Went to meet kailin n birdy birdy chirp chirp n few others at the Esplanade after dinner





















Lastly, these are the very nice gifts and cards from my very nice friends~ Thank you! =)

AHhhh CHRISTMAS is coming!!!!!! Best time of the year! But I haven't done my Christmas shopping hehe! I'm so gonna feast my heart out for the next few days! And thank God! My dad just bought me a Canon digicam as a Christmas gift! Shiokness~~ Just in time to take a lot a lot of pics hahaha.. Can zi lian once in a while~ Hee!

Hmmmmmm... but as I grow older and start to think more.. I find something pretty ironic.. It seems like the whole nation is celebrating this festival. But do they actually know the origin or meaning of Christmas.. As the name suggests, Christmas is all about Jesus CHRIST and on this day 2005 years ago.. He was born. and the whole earth rejoices! =) But now the significance of Christmas is so diluted, it seems as if it's just another joyous occasion. It's almost equivalent to celebrating Chinese New Year not knowing it was originated from the chinese.. (ya it seems so exaggerated but think about it for a moment..) I learnt last week that during this time of the year, it's when the northern hemisphere is the darkest and gloomiest.. and there's almost nothing to be happy about. Yet God used this time to send His only Son to light up the world. There is now a ray of hope, a glimpse of light for the people living in darkness. Ya this is Christmas.

My oh my. I did 2 breakthrough things today. Went for MOVIE with bro jeff.. and dinner with HIS GF at cafe cartel.. goodness. HAHA.. She's nice la and sweet. Together they make up a sweet couple. I was telling them, I wonder when will my turn come.. haha. Thinking back I realised this is like 'The Little Mermaid''s story.. yeah man. Everything has its season.

Other than that, today was kinda nua for me.. Falling sick~ =( And that KELVIN still tricked me.. Man.. lol~ dead. Thanks leh.. Oh and yay, I may be going KL next week! With Bro jeff and some ushers hahahaha.. I don't care if i'm the only choirist! HAHA.. yipee~

How to study like that?!

That's me with my choir tag!!! =) Isn't it so cool?? oh man i love it~~



YES US! The CHOIR!!!


Cai where are you!! Don't do sha shi!! They are only balloons! lol~

The ET zone's girls with Pst Aries! =)

Me and my good ol' buds! *CheErs*

That's cai! Woah look at her hair!

And YAY we got it! Polariod with Sun!

<$BlogItemTitle$>
Life has been really hectic but fun~ Haha.. hectically fun? And woah~ In a blink of an eye, we're moving over to expo!! 2 more weeks!! I'm certainly going to miss services in our B4 auditorium~ It contains so many memories! Like when it first started at jurong west, I went alone.. I was scared till i nearly cried! LOl~ but the ushers were very friendly and they got me a seat.. and *zoOm* 4 yrs have past! And here I am loving God even more each day.

Oh! And today is my beloved cai's bday! Happy Birthday once AGAIN.. lol~ I had fun ytd at the bbq aka Party By the Canal~ hahaha.. I'm sure HUPHOCK would very much love to join us as well.. LOL! Ah, don't talk about the sad stuff.. hhahaha.. Cai was the one who invited me to church and I think that's my best spiritual birthday present from her! HAHA.. Thanks girl.

I thank God for many really wonderful friends I made in church for I know they are the ones who'll stick around thru thick and thin. We know something the world doesn't, that is, the pure genuine love of God. I will always remember what Bro Edmund said: The world says "If I can see it, then I can believe it." But we say, "If I can believe it, then I can see it."

To digress a little, I meet so many different ppl everyday and one of the more disturbing category of people is those with emotional unstability... In another words, the unpredictable ones. I can honestly say, it's really tiring befriending these ppl.. They take you up and they take you down.. And I tell you, it's not fun. Guard your emotions. Of cos I'm learning to do that as well.. We all have our different set/s of problems.. and it's very important not to let circumstances get in our way. We are called to be problem-solvers and not to be a problem added to someone else's life.. I'm glad I'm standing on solid rock that will not waver in harsh conditions.. Yea~ come what may, there's a fighter inside of me! I'm always so excited about my future hahaha.. becos long ago I've decided to trust in God, the God of no limits. He has shown Himself so faithful to me time and time again, and man, I've grown so dependant on Him! Haha.. I will never forget those nights in my room when He was there as I cried feeling so weak and helpless. He appeared and comforted me like a friend and refreshed my soul.. His words bring life back into me.. And yes, just as He has promised, He will never forsake us nor leave us. =)

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6

Recently I subscribed to Dr Robb Thompson's daily success key.. (www.winninginlife.com) and he mentioned that life, it is not a race, but a journey to enjoy..
I've observed so many people... they are always rushing through life.. earning big bucks, scoring their As... But, I always wonder if they even know why they are doing those things.. Of cos it's good to be financially rich with a flawless cert. But at the end of the day, are those what they really want? Or... are they looking for something else..? Hmmmmmmm... ;)

Oh hi. haha.. ya haven't been writing.. too many things accumulated till i don't feel like writing so much. haha.. anyway i think i'm going crazy lol.. I bought 7 cds in 1 week.. goodness lol~ not that I have too much money, only cos they were on crazy sale. Haha.. Bought a book too. Nice.

Apart from that, got reprimanded by my leader for spreading stuff i shouldn't and had to apologise to a few.. It's okie we all learn from mistakes. Teachability is the ingredient for growth.

Oh btw, thruout the yrs, one of the most impt thing i've learnt is the art of selecting which comments to receive into yr heart and which comments to bounce off. In other words, it is to guard my heart with the comments people make about me. I mean, people, they can say a thousand things about you, it's not very wise to accept everything... Thank God, I know where I stand in God and I know who I am in God's eyes. My life is so much breezier (if there's such a word) and lighter~ Come what may! My Papa is my shield!

some video clips about evolution and stuff
very interesting insights

Thought this will be interesting for all Bio students..

"To put it at its mildest, one may question an evolutionary theory so beset by doubts among even those who teach it. If Darwinism is truly the great unifying principle of biology, it encompasses extraordinarily large areas of ignorance. It fails to explain some of the most basic questions of all: how lifeless chemicals came alive, what rules of grammar lie behind the genetic code, how genes shape the form of living things."—*Francis Hitching, The Neck of the Giraffe (9182), pp. 108, 117.

"[The instructions within the DNA of the cell] if written out, would fill a thousand 600-page books. Each cell is a world brimming with as many as two hundred trillion tiny groups of atoms called molecules . . Our 46 chromosome `threads' [in one DNA molecule] linked together would measure more than six feet. Yet the nucleus that contains them is less than four ten-thousandths of an inch in diameter."—*Rick Gore, "The Awesome Worlds Within a Cell," National Geographic, September 1976, pp. 357-358, 360.

"Mathematicians agree that any requisite number beyond 1050 has, statistically, a zero probability of occurrence (and even that gives it the benefit of the doubt!). Any species known to us, including the smallest single-cell bacteria, have enormously larger number of nucleotides than 100 or 1000. In fact, single cell bacteria display about 3,000,000 nucleotides, aligned in a very specific sequence. This means that there is no mathematical probability whatever for any known species to have been the product of a random occurrence—random mutations (to use the evolutionist's favorite expression)."—I.L. Cohen, Darwin was Wrong (1984), p. 205.

"To involve purpose is in the eyes of biologists the ultimate scientific sin . . The revulsion which biologists feel about the thought that purpose might have a place in the structure of biology is therefore revulsion to the concept that biology might have a connection to an intelligence higher than our own."—Sir Fred Hoyle and *Chandra Wickramasinghe, Evolution from Space (1981), p. 32.
(take some time to try to digest this)

"The irony is devastating. The main purpose of Darwinism was to drive every last trace of an incredible God from biology. But the theory replaces God with an even more incredible deity—omnipotent chance."—*T. Rosazak, Unfinished Animal (1975), pp. 101-102.

"I am not satisfied that Darwin proved his point or that his influence in scientific and public thinking has been beneficial . . the success of Darwinism was accomplished by a decline in scientific integrity."—*W.R. Thompson, Introduction to *Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species.
(Oh i like this! Haha.. Hope my bio teacher happens to chance by my blog haha)

(facts against evolution. Oh am I rebellious or what? Haha.. No la go read it, I think they are so sensible.)

goodness. Special request by she herself..
goodness. No comment!
Just have to agree and post it reluctantly..
And maybe add a 'Eh so cute you..'

Yup that's her. There that one la... lol~

Beloved Cai!!! My LIFETIME friend!!!

Beloved N256!!! Love you SO SO SO much!!!

You know once in a while
We meet someone special
Someone who colours our life
By just being in it

Out of the billions
We became friends
Isn't that a miracle?
Yes I think so

Oh it was brought to my remembrance about this song I sang in primary school. I still remember it was the first song in the songbook. Haha..
Here is how it goes...

A smile is such a funny thing
It wrinkles up your face
And when it's gone
You'll never find
Its secret hiding place
He smiles at you
You smile at him
And so one smile makes two!

So smiling will result in an increase of ratio 2! (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) Therefore it's in a geometric progression! Haha..

Ah had choir practice just now! Okie and I think all of you of sick of me saying 'It's so nice la!', especially you-know-who. Haha but too bad!!! I'm going to say it again!!!!!!! IT'S SO NICE LA! My goodness. I mean you don't just learn how to sing but also learn other stuff like how to improve the quality of your life. Just to sum up, we learnt today that WITH God, all things are possible. So, partner God!!! And please, we should all move out of our boxes! Do something new today! =)

Having a sore throat, cough and flu now.. so quarantined myself at home. Not so much that I don't wanna go school but more of I don't wanna spread it to anyone else.. We all deserve to enjoy our upcoming holidays!!! =) And ya yusu, i really wanna play tennis again! Wait for me to get well okie. Hehe..

Ah! Played tennis with my classmates again! Eh fun leh haha.. But hurt my wrist. Ah nvm... For the sake of playing haha.. Feel kinda sick now though.. =( Don't think it's becos of tennis la.. Caught a cold.. Oh maybe it's becos of the air con.. Went in fresh from the 'oven'.. Hmm.. Okie.
Friends, take care hor. =) Oh and today is YANGYANG's birthday! Happy 17! =)

The air is thick
Saturated with Your presence
My heart is filled
Overflowing with Your glory
It is you Lord
Who captivates me
All my days
I will sing Your praises
And give to You
A living sacrifice.

It's monday. It didn't feel right going back to school again.. I fell asleep for all the lectures la. The only fun thing was I went to play tennis with the wall while they had chinese and after school with my classmates.. Hmm actually the wall can be a good companion... at least it will return your ball everytime u hit. Haha.. Okie that's so much for today. Oh ya, and we took back our promos results today. Erm.. no comments la but cfm can promote..

And yay! Friday!!! N256's girls' night out! Haha.. So cool. Reponse is good. Ah. Let's see what's we're up to.. HAha.. we seriously need a good fellowship time together.. can't sense the closeness we used to have. oKie! think it'll be great.

And ya, I took out my old diary yesterday (last entry was mar 04 haha..) and started writing things I will never ever ever write here. Haha.. for my future's sake and some things are not convenient to show the whole world. Diary is thoughts you wanna preserve for yourself and blog is thoughts you want people to read.. So there's a difference haha.. I was reading through a few entries and was thinking "wah so that was how i was that time." Haha.. I strongly urge all of you to keep one la. HAha.. I think it'll be funny when you grow old and read those.. It's like stepping back into history once again. =)
Oh, Cai and alice! I talked about both of you in my diary. I was saying sth like.. "I think Cai and alice are God's greatest gifts for me." Ah.. MUST CRY hor. Can u just imagine if I become an ah ma and I read through this and think.. "Huh? Who are they?" LOL! Haha no la won't la hor.. We will grow old together! Haha how fun can that be! =) I am just so looking forward to my future la.. LOL~ Of cos there will be tribulations but I'm riding on the wings of GOD! Not afraid ya.. =)

People with poor manners simply turns me off. Totally.
Not that I have really good manners all the time...
Like I say, just tell me if you think I'm rude.
I don't wanna get on anyone's nerves or turn anyone off as far as possible.
Everyone has their own set/s of problems and I believe you don't have to let the entire world know by giving 'that' face, like the entire world owes you something.
As far as possible, let's not be the one adding on to someone else's problems.
Yes, I tried hard to love.
Maybe it's just not enough?
I don't know if anyone, in my shoes, can.
If we want respect, earn it.
It is the principle of reaping what you sowed.

On the other hand, I thank God for such people, who never fail to stretch my heart's capacity. Who make it easier for me to tolerate and love so many more people. I surprised myself by not losing my cool last dreadful night. *cheErs*
